That pic didn't make sense to me and neither did it look photoshopped. So i did a lot of google searching and came up with this answer. It seems that in the early days, texas (USA) had a particular law about car bumper heights... so the importer just did this mod as a bumper (rather than to provide downforce) to get the car registered in the continental united states. Another pic below with similar rods sticking out for attaching the spoiler.
